Congressman Donald Norcross, representing New Jersey’s 1st district since 2014, has been vocal on social media regarding recent legislative actions and commemorative events. His tweets from May 13, 2025, address significant issues including proposed budget cuts and a tribute to law enforcement officers.
On May 13, 2025, Congressman Norcross expressed concern over the budget proposal by House Republicans. He stated that the budget aims to cut Medicaid and food assistance by $1 trillion. He questioned who would bear the brunt of these cuts, pointing out that “1.7 million New Jerseyans—including kids, seniors, and people with disabilities” would be affected. He contrasted this with those who might benefit from such cuts: “Billionaire donors like Elon Musk.” “House Republicans are pushing a budget that cuts Medicaid & food assistance by $1 TRILLION.”
Later that evening, Norcross attended an event honoring fallen heroes in law enforcement. He highlighted the addition of names to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, including nine individuals from New Jersey. He emphasized the importance of remembering their service and sacrifice: “Tonight, we honor our fallen heroes in law enforcement whose names are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.”
In another tweet on May 13, 2025, Norcross reiterated his concerns about potential Medicaid cuts initiated by House Republicans. He warned that these actions put healthcare coverage for over 1.7 million New Jersey residents at risk. Highlighting personal stories from his constituents, he described Medicaid as more than just a program but a crucial lifeline for many families: “Today, House Republicans began the process of cutting Medicaid.”
Donald Norcross has served in Congress since replacing Rob Andrews in 2014 and previously held positions in both the New Jersey General Assembly and Senate.
